Veger ate 2 whoppers before realizing he was eating real meat ☠

Oh the humanity!

I feel bad for them, being lied to and forcibly giving their body actual nutrition like that. They may have even had some energy or something after that.

Gosh… Satan must have been involved. :roll_eyes:

I couldn’t get past having fast food delivered!

In their defense, I would be angry too. Say I ordered a piece of sugar free cheesecake and they gave it to me, only to find out (after excruciating pain and a face breakout) that they just gave me a regular piece of sugar laden cheesecake. Or a dairy free (whatever), and as I’m curled up in a ball crying from the pain, realize it’s made with dairy. There are reasons beyond my judgement that people have dietary restrictions. Respect that and don’t lie to them about what you’re feeding them.
I went to a picnic today and a girl asked me exactly what was in the burgers. She has severe crohns and celiacs (almost died last year) and what if I had lied to her about what was in the burgers? One was safe for her and one wasn’t. I know her medical history, but should that matter? Just be honest and respectful of others. Simple life rule.

I know people serving food should be respectful of choices but the conditions you mentioned have actual medical consequences.

I supposed someone could be allergic to meat or have that virus that causes it.

But I sure wouldn’t put my health in the hands of a fast food restaurant employee if I had a condition that could be seriously affected by how they prepare my food.

It’s amazing how stupid and trusting people can be putting themselves in a possible life and death situation. Like with Celiac’s Disease. I know a woman who will get a reaction if someone who was eating a hamburger reaches into a bag of chips and she eats one afterwards from the same bag. She doesn’t do restaurants.

And that’s your choice. What does it matter the reason they make the choices they make. It really isn’t our business. Just because it isn’t life or death, should that invalidate their choice?

I very rarely go out to eat anywhere because I have so many sensitivities. But sometimes I do. I should be able to believe someone if they tell me something doesn’t contain sugar or dairy.

I agree with you @Ketodaisy

It’s like someone who follows certain religions and doesn’t eat pork or shellfish. Even though there may not be an actual medical reason for that, it would still be wrong for someone to give them what they think is pure ground beef but really is mixed with ground pork. I also agree that putting your health in the hands of a fast food restaurant is silly.

I don’t think vegetarianism is wrong nor nutritionally unsound in all cases and sarcasm regarding it seems ill informed and in poor form as well.

Having 27 years experience in a med sci field and a master’s in an esoteric area of med sci I can tell you that one thing one learns (or, should learn) in medicine is that everything should be case by case. Everything.

I was vegetarian for 8 years decades ago and fared poorly on that diet; however my husband has been vegetarian since from that day to this and fares well as does one of my children (aged now 35) who has never consumed meat in her life, not a morsel, and who has been vegan for the past 7 years (animal advocacy reasons), through three pregnancies and long lactations, all neonates were over 8lb and strong beasts. Her kids and hubby (he weightlifts and is built) are vegetarian and these kids are muscular and big for ages.

Case by case; that’s how we in medicine differentiate between the excellent docs who modify tx based upon symptoms/presentation/response even when at odds with hard data such as labs, and the mediocre who blindly follow protocol and make scoffing sarcastic statements.

One of my children (not the one abovementioned) has intractable Crohn’s as well; she presented at age 10, is now 21 and had sx in Jan 2019, to remove TI and cecum and still has active disease throughout the gut so yes your friend could’ve had issues beyond just annoyance had this happened to her (gotten the wrong food). This kid was on tube feeds for 8 years (ages 10-18) due to disease severity so, yeah. Not something to make light of.

This has gotten bent. I agree people shouldn’t be given food contrary to their wishes. Completely different from a medical issue. I worked in restaurants for years. You would be amazed at the PITA people can be. Vegans coming into a restaurant that serves meat and asking you to use all new oil to cook their spring rolls. Ridiculous stuff. In restaurants there are lots of people in the kitchen, food prepared by people on previous shifts, line cooks who don’t know every ingredient in what they’re serving, canned goods that have a list of ingredients that went into something else. Food sensitivities are different from real allergic reactions that can be life threatening. If I were a person who might have a severe reaction to a food that could be hidden I wouldn’t ever eat at restaurants. I don’t think that a vegan getting a real meat patty at a BK that doesn’t even have that on the menu yet is pretty stupid. I wonder if anyone would give :poop::poop: if I went to BK expecting a meat patty and was given vegan poison with seed oils, sugar and starches in the patty. I do find this humorous if it wasn’t purposeful deception. The only sensitivity vegans have to meat is mental and emotional. It’s unfortunate but newsworthy? Click bait. :cowboy_hat_face:

(hottie turned hag) #12

Now this I agree with (I didn’t read the linked article). My vegan daughter doesn’t expect to get vegan food at places like BK.

Also agree, barring med cases as cited above. My vegan daughter who is pretty passionate about her animal advocacy would not wig out if this happened to her nor make it a social media blast; she would be upset but prob more mad at herself for being so dumb as to order a veg burger at BK when not on menu in the first place.

My health is not at risk but I would be pissed to receive a full sugar drink and be knocked out of ketosis. Yep - I consume evil sweetners.

So… I do not order diet drinks at restaurants or SF syrup in my coffee at Starbucks because I don’t trust them. I mostly stick to water but occasionally will have a diet soda if there is a dispenser I can fill up my own cup with. And then I have to trust they hooked the right bottle up to it. I carry Truvia in my purse for my Starbucks.

None of this is life threatening but I take responsibility for my own health and do not rely on someone else’s competence. As I type this I just got over food poisoning from a restaurant I ate at last week. I KNOW they should be accountable to not serve poisoned food but I can’t prove it since I ate at 2 restaurants that day. I took the risk.

Don’t feel bad, I do too :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
